I can’t wait for the liberals to realize this means they get no more federal judiciary appointments until the next term and proceed to do nothing about it and continue to tell me they have a functioning democracy.
Half of the libs in the thread are decrying that while the other half are whitewashing her legacy. There are a small handful who are very carefully, so as to not upset mods, clowning on her.
Oh they’re already on it they’ve been own-goaling everytime McConnell short circuits.
“This is ridiculous McConnell needs to retire but republicans will never do what’s right all they care about is clinging to power”
“What about feinstein?”
“She appoints justices so she’s fine”
If only the democrats had the political savy to not make literally all of their federal judiciary appointments depend on the health of a 90 year old women who has repeatedly had to be told what she released as a press statement earlier that day.
I got some frothing liberal rage for saying that I did my part (Note: I absolutely did not do any of this) voting for Dianne Feinstein in California because she was the DNC’s “Vote Blue No Matter Who” pick and I was just following marching orders.
Newsom can appoint a replacement (who will be a senator) but through the filibuster the GOP control who can be appointed to the judiciary committee (which Feinstein was on) as a replacement and they said pre-death they won’t seat a new appointment to that committee to stall all appointments.
It’s so hilariously systemically broken (and I’m not even talking about the intentional ways to protect capital) that finding anyone who defends it at a structural design-level blows my mind.
I’ve found I get more of a rise out of liberals from talking about how poorly-designed their worshiped system is than highlighting the actual material harm that it creates and this is before I even start bringing real critique to capital about it.
